A97227	Vnbeleevers no subjects of iustification, nor of mystical vnion to Christ, being the sum of a sermon preached at New Sarum, with a vindication of it from the objections, and calumniations cast upon it by Mr. William Eyre, in his Vindiciæ justificationis. Together with animadversions upon the said book, and a refutation of that anti-sidian, and anti-evangelical errour asserted therein: viz. the justification of infidels, or the justification of a sinner before, and without faith. Wherein also the conditional necessity, and instrumentality of faith unto justification, together with the consistency of it, with the freness of Gods grace, is explained, confirmed, and vindicated from the exceptions of the said Mr. Eyre, his arguments answertd [sic], his authorities examined, and brought in against himself.

above_o contradiction_n the_o minor_a be_v no_o less_o true_a which_o i_o prove_v thus_o if_o before_o faith_n a_o mna_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n and_o upon_o believe_v he_o be_v put_v into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o before_o god_n than_o faith_n do_v real_o alter_v and_o change_v a_o man_n estate_n before_o god_n but_o before_o faith_n a_o man_n be_v under_o

if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o receive_v all_o its_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n then_o when_o the_o law_n condemn_v than_o god_n condemn_v but_o the_o law_n be_v the_o
